CURLINFO: remove 'get' and 'get the' from each short desc

The short descriptions describe the data each info retrieves. The info
itself does not 'get' the data.

This simplifies and shortens the descriptions and make them more
consistent.

Closes #19406

NAME

CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD - content-length of download

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD,
                           double *content_length);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a double to receive the content-length of the download. This is the value read from the Content-Length: field. This returns -1 if the size is not known.

CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD_T(3) is a newer replacement that returns a more sensible variable type.

      /* check the size */
      double cl;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD, &cl);
